In his letter, John Ellison highlighted and embraced the concepts of open dialogue and debate, regardless of political affiliations or prevarications. He urged that the ideals of “trigger warnings”, were counterproductive on multitudinous levels and that students should be immersed on both sides of an issue, rather than hiding in the comfortably numb realm of ambiguity and brat addled protests.

While the backlash is imminent from the purveyors of such concepts as the “glass ceiling” and “micro-aggression”, parents of students of the class of 2020 at the University should be satisfied that the ridiculous notions of ideology are being crumpled up and tossed out the window.
